It is now 2020, and I’m able to officially claim I’ve played Pokemon shield. Arguably, I got shield because of Galarian ponyta and tyranitar. It was a hard decision, considering how at first, I preferred Zacian over Zamazenta (now I actually like zamazenta without its rusted shield). The game was pretty decent however, I’d have liked it more if pseudo legendaries like garchomp and dragonite were included in the main game. Fortunately, it appears they will be added through the DLC content (specifically Crown Tundra) coming later in the Fall.
